“But Diana, you just never know when you might need another Ethernet/Coaxial/USB/AC adapter/HDMI/Optical audio/firewire/(fill-in-the-blank) cable. You can really never have too many…”
Keep in mind that all of the various cables/cords we are currently using are still attached to their respective devices (and believe me, we have plenty of “devices”). These are just the “spare” cables. Just in case.
And what is wrong with saving something for a “just in case” moment?
Pack-rats unite!!!
My husband has a cooler full of cords and I don’t think we will ever use them.
